What the Bible says about light and seed

The True Light "In him, (the Lord Jesus) was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world,…the world didn’t recognize him." John 1:4,9.

The Good Seed and the Weeds “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seeds in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.”Matthew 13:24,25.

Pandora´s box. A personal reflection on current events

Written and posted by Jean-Louis. This morning a friend of mine posted this
onFB: “He opened
Pandora's Box through his bumbling "negotiations" and guess who is
going to suffer the consequences...”

"Last week I woke up one morning with this
thought in my mind:" Do not open a door that you cannot close".

Interesting, your image of Pandora´s box!

It could certainly apply to any of us on the
spiritual level, but when it happens withenough people in the nation, this is the result when at every level of
society, men and women have tempered with the eternal laws of a just God and reaped
what they have sown for more than half a century".

Some grievous offenses:

·
In 1963, the Supreme Court ordered official prayer and Bible reading out of
public school.

·
In 1969 In New York City, a door was opened during the riot at the StoneWall
Inn, a homosexual bar, now the White House is lit with the rainbow flag.

·
In 1973, the Roe versus Wade door was opened, now we are eating the fruit of
that tree, with the horrific display of the disgusting, repulsive display of
the doctor discussing nonchalantly abortion procedures and filthy lucre during
lunch without any sign of understanding of the gravity of the crimes committed
against God and the babies.

·
Later, the removalof the 10 Commandments
door was opened - some people might say it was shut - now a statue of Satan is
erected in a public place.

At the same time, doors are
opening in heaven from which the judgment of God has been and is coming. In
Revelation 9:2 a door to the pit is opened and demonic creatures come out. Only
the Lord Jesus can open doors that no one can shut and shut doors that no one
can open. I will entrust him with your authority, And
he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of
Judah. Then I will set the key of the house of David on his
shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.Isaiah 22:21b-22.

"And to the angel of the church in
Philadelphia write: He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who
opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this”. Revelation
3:7

In the Old Testament, the LORD
told us not to make alliances which are not his.

"Woe to the obstinate
children," declares the LORD, "to those who carry out plans that are
not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin"
Isaiah 30:1But is it not what the US and its allied European partners just did with the nuclear 'Treaty" they signed with Iran?Connecting the Dots
In reference to the homosexual riots at the STONE WALL INN I find it
interesting that Solomon had this to say about it in Ecclesiates 10:8: "He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who
breaks through a wall". What a coincidence!
The LORD throughout history has given us limits for our protection and well
being. In spite of these warnings and God´s patience and mercy, in less than a
century almost all the boundaries stones have been removed.

"He that diggeth a pit shall fall into
it,.... This and the three following clauses are proverbial expressions,
teaching men to be wise and cautious, lest by their conduct they bring mischief
upon themselves; as it often is, the one that digs a pit for another, falls
into it himself, as the wise man's father before him had observed, Psalm 7:15;
as kings that lay snares for their people, and subjects that plot against their
sovereign; or courtiers that form schemes for the rain of those that are in
their way; or any man that devises mischief against another, frequently so it
is, that the same befalls them; as Haman, who prepared a gallows for Mordecai,
was hanged on it himself;

and whoso breaketh an hedge a serpent
shall bite him; which often lies hid in fences, in old walls, and rotten
hedges (s), Amos 5:19; so he that breaks down the hedges and fences of
kingdoms and commonwealths, and breaks through the fundamental laws of a civil
constitution, and especially that transgresses the laws of God, moral or civil,
may expect to smart for it."

Jarchi interprets this hedge of the sayings of their wise men, which those that
transgress shall suffer death by the hand of heaven: but it would be much
better to apply it to the doctrines contained in the word of God, which are a
hedge and fence to the church of God, and whoever transgress them will suffer
for it; see 2 John 1:8; The Targum, by the
"serpent", understands an ungodly king, who bites like a serpent,
into whose hands such transgressors shall be delivered: and some have thought
of the old serpent the devil, as Alshech, who deceived Adam and Eve."
(s) Nicander apud Bochart. Hierozoic. par. 1. l. 1. c. 4. Colossians
26. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Several thousands years of experience are not enough to remove the evil and the
foolishness from the heart of man.

What´s to be done?

In the meantime, while waiting
for the Lord to come and take us home with Him, we can warn people from the soon coming
tribulation judgments that are going to engulf the earth and proclaim that the only solution to our
problem is the salvation of the Lord Jesus, the door to the kingdom and the One
who has the key and opens the door to let us in.

When time was right, Noah entered
the ark and the Lord God shut the door.

The Joshua Tree - An original parable/allegory by this blogger.

Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called upon the name of the LORD, the Eternal God (Genesis 21:33). Here is old Abraham just planting a tree and living by his well. Why are we told this? It is symbolic of what is taking place in his heart and life. The tree immediately brings to mind Psalm 1, which says the man of God will be like a tree planted by rivers of living water, bringing forth its fruit in season. Here is a life that is fruitful, that is concerned about those immediately around and is pouring out blessing into their lives and hearts.

Testimony/Sermon of an Abortion Survivor

SUICIDE WATCH

I am sure most of you have known at some time in your life a person who wanted or attempted to end their life or succeeded in doing so. Personally, I have known a number of such people. I, myself had such an episode as an adolescent.

More and more I am reading and hearing about people young, old, male, female, gender and age don´t matter that add their lives to this problem of epidemic proportion in our society. Whatever the cause, we can all do something however small to save lives.

No need to have a psych. degree or to be licensed. An understanding heart, a listening ear is sometimes all that it takes to help weaker, more sensitive people overcome the hopelessness that drives fellow human beings to discard the gift of human life.

Please, take a few minutes to read below the few examples and testimonies about suicide. And please pass it on, if that´s all you feel inclined to do. Thank you.

HE INVITES SUICIDE JUMPERS FOR A CUP OF TEA

Don Ritchie moved to a house outside Sydney, Australia, for the clifftop view. But soon he was stopping suicides by inviting potential jumpers inside for a cup of tea.

Don Ritchie has been awarded a medal for bravery and an Order of Australia (the nation’s second highest honor) for averting hundreds of would-be suicides by approaching people and offering them a cup of tea. ‘I used to sell kitchen scales and bacon cutters,’ he says. Now, ‘I’m trying to sell people life.’
